Caraval
The Caraval series follows sisters Scarlett and Tella Dragna as they become entangled in a magical, dangerous game. This YA fantasy explores themes of illusion, family, and destiny within a vibrant, high-stakes world where nothing is quite as it seems.
The main trilogy should be read as Caraval, then Legendary, followed by Finale. There is also a companion novella, Spectacular, which can be read after Finale to expand on the world.
Yes, there is a spin-off series called Once Upon a Broken Heart, which features characters and expands on the world introduced in Caraval.
While each book focuses on different protagonists and aspects of the game, the overarching plot and character development are continuous, making it best to read them in order for the full experience.
